Part 8: Hard Core Interrogation

Ryla's POV:

Ryla was lying down in her bed in the Healing Center 2.0 wondering where Elwin went.

I wonder if not wearing a registry pendant is that big of a deal.
My mom should've known!
She's going to be at fault if my cover gets blown.
What would they do if they figured out that I'm a witch?
Imprison me?!

About ten minutes later Elwin walked into the room. He immediately looked at Ryla, and she avoided his stare.

"Oh, umm... Ryla? Could you please come with me?" Elwin asked.

Uh oh...

"Don't I have to stay in bed and rest?" Ryla asked him.

"No. Your rib and wrist are hurt, not your legs. You can walk." Elwin said.

"I'm uh... tired though." Then Ryla started yawning and pretended to fall asleep.

There's no way he'll believe that I actually fell asleep.
Why are witches so bad at making up excuses?

"Nice try Ryla. I know you're awake." He said.

"No I'm not." She replied.

"Umm, you can't talk if you're sleeping." Elwin pointed out.

"Oops! Fine I'll follow you, since I don't think I have a choice." Ryla said as she walked out of the room.

She followed Elwin down a halfway and into a small dark room. There was what looked like a table with a chair? It was very dark so it was hard to tell.

"Sit down and make yourself comfortable." Elwin told her.

I don't like the sound of this...

Ryla slowly sat down. The chair was cold and VERY UNcomfortable. Ryla gasped as the chair put metal cuffs around her hands!

"What's your problem!?" Ryla screamed, "Let me go!!!!!"

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ahh!!!

"Don't worry! I will let you go!! I just need you to answer some questions HONESTLY." Elwin said.

He sat in a chair across from her and she noticed that there was another elf sitting next to Elwin.

"Can you at least get on with it?! I would like to get away from you...... you psychopath!" Ryla yelled.

"Nobody here's a psychopath Ryla. We just want to ask you some questions." The elf sitting next to Elwin said.

"Fine, well? What do you want to know?" Ryla asked.

I can just TRY and lie!
Please don't ask anything that will make me blow my cover!

"Ok then" Elwin said, "Our first question is where do you live?"

Lie!
Lie!
Lie!

"Ummmmm..... I live...... in... a place... called.... Uhhh... Garble Marble Hill Elf Place. It's a real place! Look it up if you don't believe me!" Ryla shouted.
